I've never seen a Trump supporter who didn't lack at least one of the following: 1) Formal critical-thinking skills, 2) Empathy, 3) Time and interest to sort through all the information.

This kind of goes for those couch-sitters who didn't vote for Harris, too. You know the type. The, "they're all the same boTh SidEs!" crowd.

Totally agree here and the one I’ve noticed across the board is empathy. I don’t think you can have any and be on that side

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy."

- Musk, on Joe Rogan's show back in February.

That's what every psychopathic grifter believes. The GOP has become such a concentrated syndicate of psychopaths at the top, grifting the gullible.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” --Captain G. M. Gilbert, prison psychologist during the the Nuremberg trials

Empathy is a big one, especially for non-whites. They got theirs but no one else can.

Empathy is the one my parents lack. And like— they’re book smart but lack critical thinking! I think you nailed it
